Raspberry Pi opens first high-street store

As more high-street retailers turn to online shopping to boost their sales, the team behind the pocket-sized Raspberry Pi computer is taking a different approach by opening its first ever retail store.

The company's new “experimental space” in Cambridge, where the Raspberry Pi was originally invented, is designed to attract customers who are “curious” about the brand according to its founder Eben Upton.

The new store, located in Cambridge's Grand Arcade shopping centre, will offer a variety of Raspberry Pi models and accessories to help encourage people to try their hand at coding and programming.
